CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Help Us Share the Call for Submissions – WINHEC Journal

Dear colleagues and friends,

Help us spread the word!

We are pleased to invite scholars, educators, researchers, students, Indigenous knowledge keepers, community leaders, and practitioners around the world to contribute to the WINHEC: World Indigenous Research Alliance and Journal (WIRA&J).

The Journal is now published by the Center for International Indigenous Affairs (CIIA), National Dong Hwa University (NDHU), and we are working to further strengthen it as an international platform for Indigenous scholarship, knowledge, and knowledge exchange.

We especially want to emphasize that every knowledge position matters.

We welcome contributions from Indigenous scholars at all stages—from emerging and early-career scholars to established researchers—as well as Indigenous knowledge keepers, Elders, community researchers, educators, cultural practitioners, and those whose knowledge is grounded in Indigenous communities and lived experience.

We believe Indigenous scholarship should not be limited to conventional academic forms of knowledge production. Community-based knowledge, Indigenous methodologies, oral histories, cultural practices, lived experiences, and intergenerational knowledge are all important contributions to Indigenous knowledge and scholarship.

The Journal seeks to create a space that supports Indigenous self-determination in knowledge production, where Indigenous peoples and communities can contribute from their own intellectual, cultural, and community contexts, and where Indigenous knowledge systems are recognized, respected, and strengthened.

At the same time, we are committed to making the Journal increasingly international and accessible, creating opportunities for Indigenous scholars and knowledge holders from different nations, regions, and generations to connect, learn from one another, and build relationships across borders.

We would greatly appreciate your help in sharing this Call for Submissions with your colleagues, students, Indigenous communities, networks, and institutions.

We warmly invite you to share the attached Call for Submissions / Author Guidelines and help us expand the circle of Indigenous knowledge and scholarship.

Thank you for helping us build a stronger, more connected, and more internationally engaged space for Indigenous knowledge.

With appreciation and warm regards,
